Well, go and look, the size of this beast make you maybe misinterpret the size
of it. There is only 2 drive bays though, but three pci-x or pci slots, which
will probably be enough for whatever you want to do.
I suppose that the expansion cards capacity is more than enough, but two drive
bays may indeed be not enough for you, altough two SATA 200GB drives in raid 0
situation may be already a lot.
